Truly authentic recipe, it turns out really good!! We do need to soak the lentils overnight at least for proper tenderness and to lessen the cooking time. It is ok not to soak it when you're using pressure cooker or something to cook the lentils in.

The flavors of this lentil curry are very complementary and are fabulous. I will definitely make this again. Had I heeded the advice of others and reduced liquid, I would have rated this recipe with five stars. I did soak the lentils for a little over an hour, and cooked the lentils longer than recommended (simply out of my convenience in preparing the meal). By the way, I served this with Roti bread, flounder as the main entree, and Pinot Grigio wine. Spectacular!

Reviewer:

These lentils came out super tasty. I didn't use red lentils and I halfed the recipe, incorporated it with the Vegetable Curry recipe from this site and served over rice with the naan recipe also from this site. It was delicious! Thank you.

Reviewer:

good flavors but somehow i forgot to look at the reviews before trying it, and added all the water the recipe recommended... and ended up draining what seemed like quarts of delicious-smelling liquid out of it, to my extreme distress.

Reviewer:

Excellent recipe. Very close to what I’ve had at the homes of Pakistani friends. I took other reviewers’ suggestions and used 3 cups of vegetable stock instead of 4. I also doubled the spices. I added about ½ cup of coconut milk instead of milk. This really made the dish.

Reviewer:

Yummy! I did double the spices as others suggested, mostly because I love everything spicy. I also used green lentils instead of red/brown because that's what I had on hand. The curry was soupy, but that's what it made it perfect on top of rice. Delicious!

Writing this review as i am eating this. when i cooked it i doubled all of the spices by cayenne pepper due to the heat. This has just the right amount of flavor and is very soft with a little crunch from some under cooked lentils which i like(i also didn't soak the lentils). This is my first time cooking curry and i just started eating lentils this summer but this dish is going to be made more often :) as a busy teenager with a mostly plant based diet i like that i don't have to do much with this dish but but it in a pot and boil/simmer.

I made this recipe starting with 2 cups of water and added as needed. I probably used at least 3 cups. I did not soak the lentils as they cook quickly without soaking. I did not have all the listed spices so I substituted curry powder (about 3 teaspoons) in their place and added 1 diced potato. I also added a touch of cloves and cinnamon. It was delicious! I would make it again. Very yummy.
